My baby saysWe can live in the empty spaces of this lifeMy baby saysFar away the stars are coming all undoneMy baby saysMy baby says, But that's far awayAnd we're youngMy baby saysAnd if the devil comes we'll shoot him with a gunMy baby saysWe can live in the empty spaces of this lifeMy baby saysIn the desert sandsOur hearts are brighter than the sunMy baby saysWhen the devil comes we'll shoot him with a gunMy baby saysMy baby says, And if he shows his faceWe'll laugh

i bought this album when it came out, too, and still have it. That means I am old too. But I have never stopped looking for the good music out there, and it is there. You can't look to the top 40. This was not exactly top 40 at the time.

Relax grandpa, just because the top 40's isn't very experimental doesn't mean there aren't other music that is nowadays.

Pro-tip: remove head from ass before posting something. Your perspective of music history is narrow as fuck, gramps.

I'm sorry, but the sixties and seventies were the most wildly experimental period for music EVER. This was part of a long and noble tradition of pushing the fucking edge. Something that has long been forgotten. I was a teen in the seventies and I bought this album when it came out. You don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about, and would be well advised to shut the fuck up, junior.

I actually chose to live my life by these words, back when this album came out, and it worked out pretty well. That's what I'm doing right now. "Interstitial living" I call it. You know, "we can live in the empty spaces of this life." If you are different at all, this is one of the only ways to survive.

It is truly amazing how something this weird could have existed in the '70s. They were post punk before punk even coalesced. It is entirely too easy to be weird now and accepted for it; in the '70s, listening to this would have gotten your ass kicked on a daily basis.
